Libby was distracted by his interest in "TomKat" Cruise and Scientology??

According to the CIA briefer Craig Schmall at the Libby trial today, while Scooter Libby was so busy with hugely important issues like, oh. I don't know—the outing of an undercover agent—he was also fascinated with listening to Tom Cruise and his very own Penelope complain about Germany's treatment of Scientology. He got really excited too. That's our boy—-to hell with national security issues and remembering who you're calling on the phone. No sir. Nobody messes with the Church of Cruise (full pdf)

1. That's one hell of a pdf. I wonder how much each year the gov't spends on black ink?

:rofl:

2. What is not being

reported is that Scooter told friends he thought Tom Cruise should play him in the movie he thought would be made about the war effort.

4. Well, the resemblance *is* pretty striking. I mean, Cruise would have definitely been

my first pick to play Libby.

Dream on, Irving. :eyes:

3. Several things piss me off about this.

For one, the Bush administration has been the one to push the "Wacky Left Hollywood" or "Democrats are Too Hollywood" mantra for the past six years, all the while, schmoozing with the same Hollywood folks they supposedly detest. behind closed doors. On top of that, Wasn't Libby suppose to be too busy with national security issues at the time?
